I think the eibach kit is only like an inch drop if that? Maybe 1.5"?
Drop it over 2" and you'll need a camber kit, which angles your wheels/tires so the tire isn't riding on its side, which wouldn't be good...at all.

| yeah, i think so, dropping an inch on eibachs would be a "racier" drop, not a ghetto drop, i think it would improve suspension performance a lot too, esp on corners (good old olds roll!) |

| i dropped my car 2.5" and I need a camber kit on the rear end. the front end adjusted very well. Its not a REAL big problem but you can see a slight angle when you look really close. |
